Trotters target African ace

Bolton are being linked with a move for Senegal winger Modou Sougou but face competition from Leicester for his services.Wanderers boss Owen Coyle is keen to strengthen his squad for next season’s Championship campaign and is keeping tabs on Sougou who plays his football in Romania with CFR Cluj.

The 27-year-old only joined Cluj last summer but could be on the move after catching the eye of clubs throughout Europe after firing home 10 goals in 33 appearances.

Cluj are reluctant to let him go but reports claim an offer in the region of £1million could be enough to secure a move.

Wanderers appear to have enough cover down the flanks with Martin Petrov, Chung Yong Lee, Gregg Wylde and Chris Eagles all able to play there but Coyle may be keeping an eye on possible replacements should Lee leave.

Coyle has insisted the South Korean ace is not for sale but that is not stopping speculation suggesting a move could be on the cards this summer.
